SPB’s Elite 8 (Week 2)

Coupled with Xavier’s 22-15 victory over No. 1 Notre Dame-West Haven, and its breeze of a Sunday afternoon game with New Milford, Masuk has assumed the top spot in our weekly power rankings for South-Western Connecticut

We also had plenty of movement among the rest of the teams.

Notre Dame didn’t drop far with its loss. But Staples leap-frogged New Canaan into the No. 2 spot.

Moving up (way up) is Central, which went from a ‘Just Missed’ all the way up to No. 4 in this space based on its thoroughly dominant victory over Ludlowe.

(By the way: In case you missed it, Central punted on 1st down in that game adding more blight for the CIAC Football Committee’s crappy 50-point policy. Again: Can we at least try a running clock? Echo…! echo… echo…)

Anyway, also moving up is Darien, which roasted Warde 31-0 and now claims the No. 6.

Moving down, is Notre Dame-WH (to 5) St. Joseph (just slightly to 7) and Greenwich, which is now completely gone.
